I have no idear (sic), LOL.
I guess they're from areas that aren't inundated.
I'm still curious about the Charles and Napoleon Ave area.
I'm tempted to call the famous Upperline Restaurant, but I figure they're pretty up their necks right now.
Good luck to your friend, but I hope she is taking firearms and, if possible, escorts who can use them. The current situation appears to be so lawless that she could be hijacked or looted. I know this sounds alarmist, but being armed and prepared may prevent an incident.
I heard the mayor say another week in the Dome too. Now the Governor says they have to be relocated immediately. And after telling people to get to the Dome, they were turned away.
This is the most infuriating incompetence I've ever seen. Starting last Friday and getting worse and more dangerous each day.
excellent post
He seems like he is trying to do something right here, but is working uphill against insurmountable odds.
I believe it was reported the city made the newspeople leave -- they were in the way and using up resources.
Uptown seems to have fared better than most. At least until the mob arrives.
After the first shock of it, my initial tendency is to consider this a credible report.
Could you sum up what Jindal said? I haven't had the TV on.
I"m streaming wwltv.com streaming video and they are saying it will be 9ft. of water in areas that were dry until now.
They're giving updates NOW.
This mayor does appear to be doing just that, and I apologize for my harsh words last night. I'm still not sure if I agree with his advice to people NOT to go to the SD, but to their second floors. But others tell me that was probably the best advice.
That's not a good sign.
Anybody hear anything lately from Molly Hennenberg? Last I heard, she was at the Hyatt downtown as well.
All the dots are connecting to thousands being dead. Too many govt officials, from Gov. Barbour of Miss to the incompetent Mayor of N.O. all mentioning stuff about lots of dead, but too soon to bother counting, during ongoing rescue efforts.
"It looks like New Orleans is going through something very close to the worst case scenario right now. This somewhat prescient study, written well before the hurricane, describes some of the challenges (engineering and otherwise) facing New Orleans. 'In this hypothetical storm scenario, it is estimated that it would take nine weeks to pump the water out of the city, and only then could assessments begin to determine what buildings were habitable or salvageable. Sewer, water, and the extensive forced drainage pumping systems would be damaged. National authorities would be scrambling to build tent cities to house the hundreds of thousands of refugees unable to return to their homes and without other relocation options.' The hypothetical is looking awful close to reality right now. What can be done about draining and rebuilding New Orleans in light of the massive flooding, and what can be done to prevent and/or lessen such disasters in the future?"
LOL!
"I must be Dain Bamaged!"
You and me both--
I like Tech for sentimental reasons. Relatives played football & baseball there & and I not a fan of UVa. Now I can add Orlando to the list.
Won't hold it against you, LOL!
You know, when I first looked at that picture, I thought it was dead fish!! I wondered why you were posting a picture of dead fish, and then I realized it was BOATS!!
